Ok, I have been playing with this. And I have to say it was worth the hype and every penny!
This software can do far more than I had thought it would do. I think the coolist thing I'v learned how to do so far is turn any 2D logo into 3D in about 5 seconds flat
.
Have not composited anything from Element into a TG2 scene yet, but really looking forward to it!
A few things I'm trying to work out is how to get wings to flap on an insect. I think a bird is out of the question, at least complex wing movements. But a House Fly or a Butter Fly, Dragon fly, Fire Fly, YES! I think I can make that work. One thing I can say for sure, is that element works! And its
easy to understand!
Im going to start on a Butterfly model and a firefly model this weekend in my modeling program when I start rendering out a TG2 animation. If I can pull it off Ill share one or both of the models with the planetside community as a thank you for all the help and good shares you guys have been giving me.
Its either the bugs or a wood board-walk to use on your terrains. Whichever, I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm very slow the first time I do something
Cheers
